Táto séria satirických rozprávok prepisuje klasické príbehy z detskej literatúry s moderným, politicky korektným pohľadom. Autori sa zameriavajú na odstránenie zastaraných stereotypov a predsudkov, ktoré sa objavovali v tradičných rozprávaniach. Každá prepísaná rozprávka ponúka vtipné a podnetné zamyslenie nad spoločenskými normami a minulosťou. Je to skvelá voľba pre čitateľov, ktorí ocenia humor a inovatívny prístup k známym príbehom.
A humorous retelling of classic bedtime stories, such as Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs, re-written to free them, according to the author, from the influences of "a flawed cultural past."
This is a "topsy-turvy" book of both Politically Correct Bedtime Stories and Once Upon a More Enlightened Time in one volume, an exclusive Quality Paperback Book Club edition. No publishing date is given, copyright dates of 1994 and 1995 for the two books.
Whether your favorite holiday story is A Christmas Carol, The Story of Hanukkah, or 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, you'll find it transformed to reflect current sensibilities in Politically Correct Holiday Stories. Injecting our popular holiday fables with a modern perspective is no easy task, but someone had to do it -- and who better than the proven master of cultural sensitivity? James Finn Garner joyfully frees these holiday tales from sexism, ageism, religious imperialism, and every other sorry vestige of our flawed, low-consciousness past. So gather the family (whether traditional, dysfunctional, co-dependent, or otherwise) around the hearth, and read aloud these tales as they should have been told the first time.
The Ultimate Storybook
James Finn Garner wowed the world when he wrote Politically Correct Bedtime Stories, which sold nearly 2 million copies, and then followed it up with two books with the same theme, Politically Correct Holiday Stories and Once Upon An Enlightened Time; the three books together sold nearly 3.5 million copies in the U.S. and were translated into 20 languages. Garner's incisive and hilarious books took age-old bedtime and holiday stories and made them into politically correct tales of our day. His original humor, filled with social commentary, is well-known by readers around the country -- most recently in his new book Apocalypse Wow!
